Cross bikes are off-road speed

One type of motorcycle sport is motocross. This is a spectacular race on sports special bikes. The race is held over rough terrain. A closed track is being built on the field and barriers are being installed. Barriers use either artificial or natural.

At first, racers on ordinary road bikes participated in motocross competitions. But these stories are

adapted to cross-country movement on their own. They had to lighten motorcycles. Parts that were useless for the competition were filmed: trunks, headlights, passenger steps, and so on. At the same time, the suspension was improved and the engine thrust increased.

And then there were cross-bikes. There have been evolutionary changes in design. Initially, the handlebar was very wide, but it was reduced, and the swingarm and fork travel was slightly increased. The riders had to lift the exhaust pipes located below. After all, in this way they were prevented from breaking when falling.

Of course, cross bikes are nothing like road bikes. The weight of the engine has been reduced and its thrust has been increased. Heavy 4-stroke engines have been replaced by revving, light andeasy to assemble 2-stroke. Only single-cylinder engines were made. Then came cross tires. This nuance allowed to radically improve the handling of the bike. The electric starter was replaced with a kickstarter, and the battery was abolished.

So, how are cross bikes designed? Innovations appeared in the 80s:

• Now the seat seemed to float on the tank. This nuance allowed the rider on a motorcycle to comfortably perform various movements.
• The old drum brake was heavy and inefficient. It was replaced by a disc brake.
• There was a progressive suspension with a monoshock absorber. Thanks to her, the shock absorber was adequate in any mode.
• Air cooling has been replaced by water cooling.

Current cross-bikes have a powerful engine, lightweight frame and impressive suspension travel - from 300 mm or more. They do not have a side stop, mirrors, dashboard and lighting equipment. Very often they do not have an electric starter. Engines can be either two-stroke or four-stroke.

Cross bikes are not registered in the traffic police. After all, they do not have a certificate required for movement on public roads. They don't have a license plate or a title. You do not need a driver's license to drive such a bike, as it is sports equipment.

I wonder what is the motorcycle "Cross Monster 250" (TTR 250)? He is also "YAMAHA TTR 250R", and he is also very popular inRussia as "IRBIS TTR 250". He does not need registration and a driver's license. Of the optics, it has only a headlight. Equipped with a 250cc vertical motor. see This is a two-wheeled all-terrain vehicle for all occasions, a bike for all roads.

But not only adults adore motorcycling, but also children! Especially for kids Belarusian company "Polesie"

made a motorcycle "Molto-Cross Polissya".

This is a spectacular bike for a child who wants to feel like a racer! Children's motorcycle has:

• Comfortable seat.
• Durable wheels.
• Ahead of the bike is a bumper and colorful stickers.
• The bike is designed for energetic outdoor play.
• Its maximum load is 20 kg.

This toy is made of high quality plastic. In general, the company "Polesie" produces all toys only from environmentally friendly materials.
